Attempting to open a telemorphic user when you have no network connection results in a dialog asking you to Retry a name lookup (as a network check) or Give Up. If you Give Up, your image will spew out a never-ending stream of debuggers. This change allows the user to see that she needs to make a network connection, but also allows her to abort the operation. See
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7578.
